I don't think so. Marvel should just so it pisses me off to the point where I choose DC permanently until Marvel comes up with something actually constructive or someone comes along and fixes what Joe Q has done to my precious Spider-Man.

Finished reading issue three of Avengers and the cover for it is a little misleading. There was some great banter between Jessica Drew and Peter in this book and Tony, Captain America, and Nor-Varr go into the future. Oh and a corpse like Wanda was one of "Apocalypse's" Four Horsemen.

Academy is not interesting me at all. I like the main Avengers (JRJR!) so far and New Avengers. Secret Avengers isn't wow-ing me so far since I don't care about Serpent Crowns or most of the characters involved. Thunderbolts is pretty cool so far with GORGEOUS moody art.

So far Secret and New Avengers are keeping my attention but we'll see.....both Bendis and Brubaker are way too in love with long meandering decompression. Outside of POWERS I never met a Bendis book I didn't eventually drop because it took forever to go anywhere and Bru's Cap has been teetering on the edge for a while now.

The main Avengers book is starting to frustrate me. After a great set-up in the first issue, the 2nd and 3rd issues haven't really advanced the plot all that much. It feels like Bendis is trying to stretch a story that would have been better told in four issues into six.

Read issue three of Secret Avengers and it's back on track. This new Shadow Council is interesting as is Nick Fury being a part of it. Reading him call someone else Director and 'sir' was weird though. I'm convinced that he has some sort of plan regarding this organization. Possessed Nova was kind of fun though. The next issue teaser shows Steve about to put on the Nova helmet!!

My thoughts exactly. The Shadow Council/Nick Fury thing is interesting. Took me a while to get into the whole Mars storyline but I liked how it went.

Avengers #3 definitely reeked of filler so that Marvel could charge more of the trade paperback. Now what you want from a comic that is supposed to be Marvel's flagship.
